Selfish Acts Of An Emotionally Crippled Poet Poem by Not Long Left

Selfish Acts Of An Emotionally Crippled Poet

Rating: 5.0


It was not the grief on your face
That worried me,
It was the lack of inspiration,
Coming from this desperate situation.

For how could I offer any comfort
If I could not convert
Your all consuming pain,
Into a poem.

Like a photographer in a war zone
I try to capture the moment,
Using the most shocking of sights
just to fullfil those often lonely nights.

COMMENTS OF THE POEM

Tragically true. I imagine a thousand of us could say the same thing at this very moment. But you say it better.
